a top pick meaning...
1 or 2...we're in line for reggie bush or matt leinart
commentary: if we're in position to draft reggie bush i consider it, HOWEVER, if we're in position to draft matt leinart, i say trade down and get a nice package of draft picks, there's deep talent out there, the early picks we have will help us in the long run
#3 overall...we could still trade down, as teams could line up to select virginia OT d'brickshaw ferguson, regarded as one of the best tackle prospects in years...we could select d'brick as a way to replace 'false start' clifton, but we have other needs
trade down a couple spots, best scenario we get #7-10 (and also perhaps an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick, maybe other late rounders) and select Oregon DT Haloti Ngata--6'6 330, very quick in pursuit, could be the disruptive force vs. pass AND run that we don't have
second round picks...if we're lucky enough to get a shot at lendale white early in the 2nd...there is a depth of linebackers available...we might get a shot at abdul hodge, chad greenway or d'qwell jackson...we could solidify the corner position, guys like miami's devin hester and BC's will blackmon are ranked in the 30s right now...guys look at the talent available, do you now see why i want to trade down and perhaps get another early 2nd round pick
i think 3rd or 4th round pick should be spent on a reciever...next year we will have a formidable 4...walker, murphy, driver, chatman (ferguson ehh)...but yes, another one should be brought in to solidify the depth chart, maybe a punt return specialist, maybe use our early 2nd on santonio holmes or sinorice moss if available, but its too early to tell
EDIT: just an idea, pick a tight end 2nd-4th rounds bubba franks is a legit target but only within ten yards of the line of scrimmage, perhaps a tight end with a step to stretch the defense...or definitely look 5th-7th round for a solid blocking tight end, something we haven't had since jeff thomason, TT likes the role players, i like the odds of us getting a blocking TE for running downs, and getting ben steele outta here
